Below are examples of elementary school learning objects in a few subject areas:

Digital Author Interviews on TeachingBooks.net:

WebQuests, buILders, podcasts, YouTube videos, and even websites can all be considered learning objects too, provided that they are digital aides that can be reused by other schools, classes, or grades to support learning. You have probably even created some of your own learning objects far before you learned the term!

Thanks for the great links. I have added them to my bookmarks for future use. I have used Brain Pop Jr. and I know that teachers also like to use it. I was amazed at the amount of information that can be covered in such a short period of time.
Thanks also for making it clear what learning objects are in terms I can understand.
I appreciate your feedback and am glad that the clarifications are helpful. I was pretty confused by the original definitions too!
I agree that BrainPop is pretty amazing, and I like that there are fun comprehension checks that help solidify information at the end of each video. I have really come to like TeachingBooks.net lately too- Most of the author/ illustrator interviews take place at the authors'/ illustrators' homes or work studios, which kids love to see! I hope that this site will grow to include even more authors and books though-- It is hard to find an author interview to match most of the books I've read/ discussed in class at this point.
